>Generally the offspring bear the racial traits of the mother
It would make more sense for the children to look like the father so that he doesn't doubt that they're his. But then again, them not taking the father's traits would give her plausible deniability if they actually aren't his. The latter method would only come about if cuckoldry was evolutionarily beneficial

>>97213989
In my modern fantasy RPG, they used to be violent rape cannibals (they ate elves, specifically, that's still a sore spot for both) but because they basically speedran evolution due to this method of procreation they rapidly developed (mostly) into a sapient race.

As such, you have Goblins, which are the sapient more humanoid types, and the extinct Gobs, which is the slang name for the animalistic ones that predate Goblins. There's still plenty of discrimination against Goblins however, and they mainly occupy the slums of major cities in small communities.

having them around is useful to the people in power

Is it, though? A well trained knight will definitely be able to hit every single regular strike against an opponent, that being a skill of 16-18, while being able to stop 50% of strikes (parry 11-12). That's not exactly best in generation. And he'll be able to hit chinks in armor, neck, head most to half the time.

Here's what Tactical Shooting says about skill

>>97257785
What about melee? Again, you can't tell me an experienced mercenary or knight doesn't have a 100% hit chance (barring critical/automatic fails) against an opponent provided he's just trying to strike him instead of aiming for a specific body part or gap in the armor.

>>97258000
If anything the skills should be lower for melee, consider that you're intrinsically using Guns skill against hefty penalties and they're still no higher than that

The issue may be exacerbated the lighting contributing to a cooler, than observed tone, that is being exacerbated by the camera's temperature adjustment.

So in Starfinder 1e it really seems like Evolutionist has some really glaring drawbacks when it comes to niches, all of them seem fucking hellbent on killing you like a retard, which is weird to me since it seems like the class isn't even that good in the first place so having drawbacks as insane as they are is confusing considering the other classes seem just as good without the chance of you being raped by double damage from electricity

Every time I see a thread along the lines of "What do you think of Pathfinder 2e's mythic rules?" the response is almost universally "They are underwhelming and boring" or something similar.

You think they will ever revisit some adventure path "concepts" Id be interested in another carrion crown or skulls and shackles.
For that matter remembering back to 1e I fully did not understand how they wanted the start of skulls in shackles to be run with influencing crew members on wormwood. Felt really awkward when I tried to run it but I feel like I missed something.

That's because they are. What's even up to debate here?

>>97256957
>How do you think people would sleep
Lightly, and at different times. Perhaps even with half of their brain awake, like some aquatic animals do.
If it's 1900's tech level, they'd probably have a set schedule as to facilitate factory work. I would go with three sleeping phases to match three shifts of ~8 hours each.

>>97256957
Are they human? I don't think anything that evolved on that planet would need sleep, at least not in the way we do. How would plants grow with constant sunlight, would they still need have cycles of producing sugars if they can just get all their energy from a constant source? How do the people dissipate heat on the sun side?

>>97256935
In real world it was a fairly nebulous term (I don't think it actually was an official ship classification in the same way light cruiser or armored cruiser were) but primarily referred to a cruiser with battleship-scale guns.
In this case it's just a terminology difference. The humans refers to ships bigger and more heavily armed than cruisers as battleships, While the Seirans consider their biggest ships to be more heavily armed and armored versions of their standard cruisers, and so call them battlecruisers or heavy cruisers. Seiran battleships/battlecruisers also do perform more like big cruisers, since they're fast for their size and there's more overlap in armament size between them and cruisers.

>>97256935
Now you triggered my autism. Basically there's multiple flavors battlecruisers.
The one people think of is usually the british flavor. A battleship sized ship, with downstripped armor (enough to stand up to cruisers, but might as well be paper against proper battleships) standard battleship caliber guns but less of them (they usually lost a turret compared to a battleship of the same era) and more speed. They were designed to destroy cruisers and act as scouts, and since scouting groups were usually made of cruisers, to destroy enemy scouts and screens. They won't last long in the line of battle because no fucking armor as the bongs learned painfully when their battlecruisers started exploding during the battle of Jutland. Although there's more to it than that, the battlecruisers had dropped all ammo handeling safety to achieve higher firerates, so good hits were likely to blow the entire thing up.

The other is the Imperial German flavor. Also battleship sized, fast enough to keep up with cruisers, with better armor and the same number of guns but at the low end of what you'd consider battleship scale. These were meant to fill the same role as the british BCs, but were also intended to survive in the line of battle, hence the better armor compared to british BCs. They actuall held up okay during Jutland, although there were plenty of losses anyway.

Battlecruisers eventually became obsolete with technonlogical improvment. Once fast battleships became a thing (just before or during WW2), there was no longer a need for a ship that sacrificed armor and/or firepower for speed. You could have a proper battleship going fast, why build a battlecruiser? Things like ships carrying floatplanes for scouting also meant the role of destroying scouts could no longer be fully fulfilled by them.

>>97256935

Think of it as a Glass Cannon: Battleship Armament + Cruiser Armor. The problem is that they were rarely used this way and they just grouped them together with Battleships, wasting their speed advantage, and ending in battle roles for which they weren't designed for. Also Battleships eventually became just as fast as Battlecruisers making the later obsolete.

I'm surprised the thread got made at this hour.

I’d like to see the VC back just to get my hands on some of the pre-refresh skeletons. I know tracking them down second hand isn’t the worst experience, but it’d be more convenient in my mind.

that would necessitate a general habit among all outsiders of never using names at all, wouldn't it?
otherwise any magician who once heard of the outsider can now drag it into his binding circle. Not just to enslave, but also to just kill.
ie. if there were demons pestering a kingdom, the standard response wouldn't be
>send heroes to find the demon
it would be

Titles and pseudonyms exist, with the former being a great fit for Devils given the Infernal Hierarchy.

>ie. if there were demons pestering a kingdom, the standard response wouldn't be
>>send heroes to find the demon
>it would be
>>Clerics play Scrabble via Commune,
>>hand the name over to the mages. Summon the demon leaders one by one to a prison fort and execute them on the spot.
Commune is a 5th-level spell costing 100 XP a pop, only gives a yes-or-no answer, and requires the deity contacted know. Then the Planar Binding spells you'd be using to drag them before you are limited to 6 HD for a 5th, 12 HD for a 6th, and 18 HD for an 8th.

The base of knowledge and casting to pull this off already qualifies as "send heroes to find the demon" by most settings' level-scaling conventions, and it's a rather costly approach to such.

All this talk about true names reminds me of the whole plot of Neverwinter Nights:HotU. You going through Hell, literally, to find Mephistopheles' true name.

Elves rule.
Humans toil.
It is the God Ordained Order.

>>97256017
That brings us to the next problem: plowing is hard work, it’s such hard work that women don’t do it, and human women are stronger than halfling men. Using halflings as farmers will decrease yields, which in turn will lower the surplus that the human ruling class depends on. Consequently, human landowners are strongly incentivized to use human labour for productivity reasons.

>>97255998
I said soldiers, not warriors, but it’s not true that putting 40 shillings on the drum to recruit peasant boys into the army is early modern, not medieval. That said, some fantasy settings are more early modern than medieval.
